OWC content not displaying at all (asks for installation)

[Pavle]

Hello,

We just migrated our application to another domain and now some of the
machines can't access the OWC content: it keeps on asking them to install OWC
or to upgrade their IE. The OWC version is the same on the server and on the
client machines and these clients can view other sites which use OWC so it's
as if the page doesn't properly detect their OWC.

I thought about a security problem (clients don't have sufficient rights to
access the OWC) but I thought the OWC itself lets the IIS server handle that
and since all the other pages are fine I don't see why this particular
component would be a problem. The OWC is a pivottable based on a view fro,
the DB (no Analysis services installed). Other pages using the same DB work
fine.

Any ideas are welcome

thanks a lot



Server: 2003 SP2

Pardon my ignorance but what do you mean by re-register? Do you mean
reinstall the component on the client when required or reinstall on the
server or do something with registry???
thanks

Thanks, I tried that but it doesn't seem to help. I'm confused because I
can't determine whether it is a server or a client problem. The page with the
OWC works when accessed by some machines but not from all so I first thought
the problem came from the client OWC install.
However, those clients which can't access it and get the error have no
problems accessing other sites with OWCs so it looks like their install is
fine well...
Any other ideas? Was I supposed to reregister the dll on the server, client
or both? I noticed in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Components
on the server that there are 2 folders: 10 and 11 so I suppose two version
were installed at one point (I just started managing this server), could this
be related? Why would some clients work and not others? Could it be something
with the network?

Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer me!

Depends on where the application is talking to the OWC. If you are using an
OWC object in code running in the code behind, you will need it registered
on the server. Otherwise, it is needed on the client. If you can see the OWC
object on at least one computer, it is not a server issue. Make sure that
the version of the OWC you are creating is the version that is installed on
the client. That should fix this issue.
